Jumpstart Your Fitness

(4.5 / 5)

My experience

I did this DVD on 30 consecutive days just as I wrote above about 1,5 years ago. I wasn’t in a great shape and the first workout felt horrible. I couldn’t do all the jumping jacks, my calves felt like they were on fire and I just wanted to pause the DVD, sit on the sofa and never press play again. But I fought through it. And as the days went by it got easier and easier to do.

I didn’t follow a diet back then, so if you want to lose weight you should follow a diet program at the same time. The biggest changes that I noticed were in cardio. All of a sudden I could just jump, jump, jump away without any difficulties and I had so much energy.

The good

The workouts are absolutely brilliant. Very simple but effective. You might think that level one must be easy, but trust me it isn’t. Another good thing about this workout is that there are two options for each exercise, an advanced and a modified one. The push ups for example, I couldn’t do a proper one to save my life. I just can’t. I’ve sometimes wondered if there’s something genetically wrong with me, you know, my body is not structured properly. Or maybe I just lack muscles. However, the DVD allows me to do a modified version of the push up.

The best thing about this workout is that it’s just 20 minutes. I mean, who doesn’t have 20 minutes a day! The workout is really hard. But as it is just 20 minutes so it should be if one wants results.

The bad

In my opinion, the only negative thing about this DVD is the music. It’s really quite bad. But then you can always mute the TV and listen something else – after you’ve done the DVD a couple of times you remember quite well what’s coming next so you can focus on the movements and just have a look at the TV screen every now and then. Also, if you have problems with your knees, you might need to modify some moves.

Overall

This is such a great workout DVD, both for beginners (as you can modify) and people who exercise regularly but are looking for a good quick and intensive workout.

I highly recommend this DVD.
